DS has been really sleepy today after a bad night. Hopefully he sleeps tonight too. I've just started to lose my lovely thick pregnancy hair! It usually starts around 3/4 months and I got a big handful in the shower today. Not sure what's worse, the point where it's really thin, or the tufty regrowth a few months later.

Morning all, and happy Mother's Day. I just got excited because I thought C had a 12 hour sleep (not straight through, I hasten to add) then realised it was 7am not 8am. Boo. Still, 11 hours is excellent, well done C. (Just make it 12 tonight, ok?)

She did lots of crying in her sleep last night, very disconcerting.

Thanks for the new thread Honey.

Seymore, my hair has been coming out for ages. I'm sick of cleaning it up! How long does the hairless last? Mine has been for at least a month, perhaps longer.

Happy mothers' day. I can hear DH bumbling around in the kitchen with DD, so I hope my cup of tea arrives soon. I've been waiting for an hour so they could get it, because apparently they decided the other day what would be happening today.

I technically got a Mother's day card although it actually is a mummy birthday card, DP swears it didn't say that when I bought it! I didn't expect anything so I'm very happy. I also got a lie in although DP is making so much noise I'm awake.

Didn't refresh to see the new thread so here's my moan! After DH woke T up at 1.30, it took me til 4 to get her settled in her cot. Then dd1 called me at 5 to pick up her toy (I've told her that's the last time). T up at 7. One very tired and grumpy mummy here. Aibu to say next year they can keep the flowers/chocs/cards and book me into a hotel for a night by myself!

DH told me yesterday that dd2 didn't want to make a card for me, only for her 2 best friends. For some reason he thought I'd find this funny and was shocked when I said that he should have kept that gem to himself. Men are shit.

Morning all, and happy Mother's Day. I've not got anything yet as DH is sleeping beside me. He did wake up, complained at the time, then left me to change and feed DS. He's really not a morning person though, so he's forgiven as long as I get breakfast in bed at some point.

Mama, I feel your pain with the unputdownable baby , although mine won't often go down awake to play either. Sometimes I can sneak him down for 30 mins, but usually when I put him down its max 5 mins till he wakes. I rarely bother to try as I always expect the worst. I'm also limited socially, met up with people from work the other day and literally has nothing to talk about. Just asked them about life in the office. I'm the only one among friends who has children, or any interest in having them, so they're not interested in DS really. My saviour has been baby groups and activities. I only do a tues feeding group and fri swimming, but DS sleeps in the car/pram in the way there and stays asleep for a while when we get there (noisy cafes etc seem to be great for him sleeping ). So I get a cup of tea and to either talk to the mums, or just sit and listen if I'm to tired to make conversation. Other days I try and get out at least once to get DS to nap in the pram or car, he always wakes once we're home, but it's nice to not have to hold him for a while anyway.

F slept 8,1,2. His second wake was long enough to warm a bottle and drink two mouthfuls!!! This morning iv had a chocolate themed breakfast in bed, a card and badge! DH put the pen in F's hand to sign the card, very cute scribble!

Ha, I got a happy birthday mummy card as well - husband scribbled out birthday and wrote Mother's Day. He said it was better than any of the proper Mother's Day cards he saw. It even has a badge on that says Best Mummy.

Now I'm still in bed, holding asleep baby (of course) while my husband takes longest shower in works before venturing out to buy me pastries.

Stacks, it's tough isn't it? I try to have an event on every day but sometimes I can have been out at children's centre in morning, get home and realise there are still 7 hours until my husband gets home.

i'm going to have a whinge now if you don't mind. My 'DP' was in work last night, when he finishes a night shift he goes to his dads to sleep so he can have a uninterrupted sleep (i wish i could have that). Well all week i've hinted at him to come home after work today and that its my 1st mothers day and i wouldn't mind being spoilt in the morning. I've hinted that he could sleep in the afternoon whilst i made my mum and nan a mothers day lunch. Well he's completely ignored my hints. So he's gone to his dads for his sleep and i know when i do eventually see him, he'll be watching the footy at 4 so he'll either watch it at my nans house or he'll go back to his dads! Hes 30 years old for god sake would it kill him to stop thinking about himself!! AIBU feeling like this? I know he's in work tonight so i need to cut him some slack, but it would of been nice to wake up to breakfast or the chance to have a nice soak for half an hour

I got a lovely card (which DS1 had decorated with stickers), some flowers and DH is now cleaning the kitchen and making a Sunday roast while I chill out on the sofa for a bit.

Hales - totally get why you're fed up. Such a shame that your DP didn't think that you'd want your first mothers' day to be special. Also sympathise about the football - my dad won't be there when we go round for tea later as he's heading off to Anfield. Nothing new though - apparently he did the same the day my mum brought me home from hosptial when I was born .
